Red makeup against the world

Chapter 90 Green Bamboo Court

Seeing that the two were at a stalemate, Tu Qiongyu said: "Young brothers and sisters, stop arguing, I have a suggestion, you should listen to it first. The expenses of the Xu family's servants and the 'Qingzhuyuan' will be paid by the second sister. After walking on the boat for more than two months, the second younger sister must have not enough manpower, so it would be convenient to add new servants. The second younger sister, Wanzhen, Wen Yu, and the young master of the Su family left the Tu family with their monthly bills. Forgive me, after all, this is also the second sister's home."

When Lin heard this, although the Xu family did not bear all the expenses, they did not have to bear the expenses of the servants and the "Green Bamboo Garden", which was much better than she expected.Afraid of Tu Hongyi's objection, he wanted to settle the matter quickly, and hurriedly said: "I think this is very good. The second sister and we are a family, and we can't have any ties."

Who doesn't understand her thoughts?Tu Hongyi was annoyed in his heart, this old wife was really too stingy.

Mrs. Xu smiled in her heart. In fact, this is the best way, less restraint.If you want to live in Tu's family, set the money rules in advance, and you will save a lot of trouble in the future.He asked again: "I don't know if there is a kitchen in the 'Green Bamboo Garden'? I brought a chef from Suzhou to Beijing, and cooked some Suzhou dishes for my father to try something new." It means giving money out of people.

Seeing her being so upbeat, Mrs. Lin swept away her dissatisfaction with her before, and quickly responded: "There are some, but they haven't been used for a long time. I will arrange for someone to repair and clean them later, so that the second sister can use them as soon as possible." Come on. I'm also looking forward to tasting Suzhou dishes." After finishing speaking, he looked up and laughed out loud.

Seeing her like this, Tu Hongyi raised his forehead, Mrs. Tu was speechless, Mrs. Xu smiled secretly, and Xu Wan smiled sincerely.Only Xu Wenyu went in without knowing it, and when he saw the eldest aunt smiling happily, he also laughed "giggle".If the embarrassment was ignored, there were bursts of laughter in the flower hall, which seemed to be very happy.

Seeing that it has been agreed, Old Master Tu said: "Since this is the case, Qionghua will take the children back to the Green Bamboo Garden and take a good rest. We will discuss other matters tomorrow, and the dinner will be delivered by the big kitchen." It's just a meal, Mrs. Lin Happy to answer.

Although the three brothers and sisters still had something to say, they were not in a hurry and dispersed separately.

After leaving the flower hall, He Xiang, Lin's maidservant, greeted her. Lin was in a good mood at this moment, and said with a smile, "Second Sister, I will let He Xiang take you to the 'Green Bamboo Garden', and make a proper arrangement today."

He Xiang is a maidservant with a fair complexion and an ordinary face. After saluting to Mrs. Xu, she led the way.Go to the end along the Chaoshou corridor on the left, and there are two bluestone paths at your feet.He Xiang smiled and said: "Madam, look, the small road that turns left is the back garden of the mansion." The Xu family members looked in the direction she pointed, and there was a moon gate over there, and the flowers and trees inside the gate could be vaguely seen Prosperous, own a world.

He Xiang said again: "Let's walk along this straight path, and the end is the 'Green Bamboo Garden'." After walking for about a cup of tea, a courtyard with white walls and black tiles appeared in front of us.There is a plaque hanging on the gate of the courtyard, with the words "Qingzhuyuan" written on it.The brushwork is vigorous and powerful, with a kind of back-to-basics and simplicity. It is hoped that one can feel the vigorous brushwork of the writer and the free and easy mood at that time.

Xu Wanzhen has learned a lot of appreciation of calligraphy and painting by following Madam Zheng.Seeing these three characters, I couldn't help but praise: "Good characters!"

Mrs. Xu nodded, and said: "Looking at the style of his pen, it should be the work of your great-grandfather. Compared with the past, the style of the pen has restrained its strength and straightness, and it is more natural and simple." He Xiang said: "This plaque, is it When will father write it?"

He Xiang said: "Returning to Mrs. Xu's words, it was written by the old lady three years ago. The maidservant remembers very clearly that when Master Liu came here as a guest, he had a happy drink with the old lady, saying that there are 'pines' and 'plums' in this yard. Han Sanyou is short of a 'bamboo'. The old man wrote these three characters, made a plaque and hung it on this yard."

He Xiang is just a little maid, and she owes it to Mrs. Lin to remember this.That day when she learned that the old man had written the words with her own hands, Mrs. Lin hoped that she could hang this plaque in the courtyard where they lived.Unexpectedly, it was hung in a vacant yard, and it was not given to her.As a patriarch of the three dynasties who has undergone dynasties, Mrs. Tu, a great Confucianist, has retired, but he has an unparalleled reputation in the hearts of civil servants and students all over the world.

Mrs. Tu is good at painting pine trees. The composition of the picture is far from virtual and near real, often between movement and stillness, creating a sense of etherealness and elegance.Calligraphy is between Kuangcao and Wei Bei, and it has its own style.However, his calligraphy and paintings were only given to close friends, or were made according to orders, and they were rarely circulated.Let the powerful and important officials wait but not get it, and pursue it one after another.

But since the old man Tu left the job of offering sacrifices to the Imperial College, he has become more and more indifferent to fame and wealth, so he finally wrote this word.If this plaque can be hung on Tu Hongyi's yard, it will be beneficial to Tu Hongyi and his family.Tu Bowen and Tu Bosi can declare to the outside world that their grandfather values ​​them.Because of this, when Mrs. Lin learned that Mrs. Tu had hung the plaque on an empty yard, she was extremely disappointed.After talking about this matter for a long time, He Xiang, as her first maid, is naturally very familiar with it.

Mrs. Xu listened and silently calculated.Three years ago, when his father was recovering from a serious illness, Liu Bocheng came to visit him.The teacher-student friendship between the two is deeper than others think.Between the strokes of this word, there is a kind of freedom that sees through life and death.It turned out that the illness was so dangerous that I thought it was just a common cold in Suzhou.Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu felt a little bored.Although the matter has passed, Mrs. Xu does not want to experience this sense of powerlessness again.

Xu Wanzhen saw Mrs. Xu's sudden depression.For some reason, it was hard to persuade her, so I had to silently support her to move forward.Companionship may be the best comfort.

After entering the "Green Bamboo Garden", Biluo, Yulu, Madam Zheng, and Sangzi all greeted her, and He Xiang smiled and wanted to leave.Yulu rewarded her with a purse, and said softly, "This is Sister Hexiang, right? I heard when I was in Suzhou that there is a Sister Hexiang in Beijing who is extremely dexterous and good at making connections. Please do more in the future." Come sit down and let my younger sister learn some crafts." As expected of Mrs. Xu's training and reliance on the big maid, Yulu's words are exquisite, and He Xiang is full of joy and turns to "Changhongyuan".

When the master of the Xu family was speaking in the flower hall, all the servants and servants had already arrived at the "Green Bamboo Garden".In the past half an hour, under the leadership of several big maids, the yard and all the wing rooms have been roughly cleaned.The luggage was still in the courtyard, and it hadn't had time to pack it.

This "green bamboo garden" is a courtyard with green bricks paving the ground and surrounded by houses.The space is sparse and open, surrounded by bamboo forests.There are osmanthus bamboo with tall and straight stalks, tough and resolute light bamboo, tall and straight Xiangfei bamboo, Qinsi bamboo, Fengwei bamboo and so on.The species may not be so rare, but the planting is sparse, showing the beauty of bamboo.The inner courtyard is higher than the outer courtyard, and the sun is warm, so that the bamboo forest has no gloomy and cold air, and it only makes people feel refreshed.
